Re: When/where did worm-type hose clamps first appear?

In the UK Jubille brand worm type hose clamps were and still are so widely used that now any type of hose clamp is commonly referred to as a Jubilee clip similar to the way an adjustable spanner is known as a Crescent wrench in US regardless of the manufacturer.
I don't recall them ever being used as OEM equipment on any production cars though I may be wrong but they are certainly widely used in the aftermarket.
See this link for origins.
